Some English and History exam answers (for real).

Notes on

Explorers: Sir Walter Raleigh invented cigarettes, and Sir Frances Drake circumcised the world with a 100-foot clipper.

Gravity: was invented by Isaac Walton. It is chiefly noticeable in autumn, when the apples are falling off the trees.

Egypt: The inhabitants of Egypt were called mummies. They traveled by Camelot. Moses led the Hebrew slaves to the Red Sea, where they made unleavened bread, which is bread made without any ingredients. David was a Hebrew king who fought the Philatelists. Solomon, one of David's sons, had 500 wives and 500 porcupines.

During the Renaissance: Martin Luther was nailed to the church door at Wittenberg for selling papal indulgences. He died a horrible death, being excommunicated by a bull. The painter Donatello's interest in the female nude made him the father of the Renaissance.

The English: Queen Elizabeth's navy defeated the Spanish Armadillo. William Shakespeare wrote about Romeo and Juliet, a romantic couplet. Miguel Cervantes wrote ``Donkey Hote.'' John Milton wrote ``Paradise Lost.'' Then his wife died and he wrote ``Paradise Regained.''

600 years of pent-up demand for Apple electronics gear... :o)

Near-riot prompts Apple to halt iPhone 4S release in China
The device has sold out at the company's five China stores. When one store refused to open, a mob responded by throwing eggs. The company says the phones won't be available in China "for the time being."

The incident underscores the popularity of the Apple brand in China, which has one of the world's fastest growing markets for mobile phones and personal computers.

The Cupertino-based company said in October that sales in China rose to $13 billion from $3 billion for the fiscal year ended Sept. 24. Plans are afoot to make the iPhone's digital assistant, Siri, fluent in Chinese.

Apple's five official stores in China -- three in Shanghai and two in Beijing -- generate more revenue on average than any other Apple stores in the world, the company said last year.
